> I have been out of it for a while and I see you had a bout of pneumonia too. How are you doing? I had a bout about 1.5 years ago and recovered, but it took a long time to get my wind back. I stretched a lot of muscles coughing. Hope you are not that sore. It is wicked stuff to get that is for sure. It was the sickest I have ever been, in the physical sense. Maybe it is not too late for me to also try some probiotics. My stomach was upset while I took 600 mg of Mg. I think with my meds it may be wise to try some probiotics.Sickest I've ever been, methinks. I'm lucky, I guess, in that I responded within hours to all the meds that were pumped into me.
You hurt your leg, you can sit around, use a wheelchair, or a crutch. But what the hell do you do when it's your lungs that aren't working?
> I ended up sick last week, fever blisters, after eating terrible all weekend. A friend from the UK was visiting and I indulged and paid for it. Stuff I used to eat without any ramifications, but now is a no no.

> I emailed George Eby about my Mg problems which is somewhat peristent to this day(I only take 200 mg a day). What do you think about the Chromium and vanadium addition? Whould TMG be of any benefit to me? I am not sure what is does, I just noticed you and Ron talking about it. Also, the chromium has different kinds...what would you suggest?TMG can be activating. So activating, in my body, that I'm virtually guaranteed to develop insomnia unless I am extremely careful. You just have to try it and see. I'd start at 1 gram/day and see what happens. Source Naturals brand, available at Hilife Vitamins and Herbs, is a good choice.
Chromium is often made available as the picolinic acid salt, chromium picolinate. I really don't have any idea why they use that particular form.
> I saw my doc on Friday and he wants me to back off my benzo some. I take 22.5 mg of tranzene. Of course, I broke a 7.5 in half and have had some anxiety the last few days. The Mg mellows me at night, just wish I could sleep better. The combo of Mg and benzo may be what is making me so tired. Would love to go off the benzo for good, but that is a way down the road.
> Thank you Larry. take care.

You try something and it doesn't work, you move on. You're smarter than you were. If it works, you keep it, and maybe try something else. Maybe magnesium isn't for you, ya know?
I'm just about to climb into a truck. See ya.
